Wow, your really creative. I love your work especially the sketches on the poster board
Lol, nice imagination! Keep updating, man, do some solid anatomy studies looking forward to this. :)
thanks guys33
your rendering skills are getting better. Keep it up
I like your loose style, it makes your sketches very dynamic
About the study on the right of post #51, be careful to look in which direction the hip is tilted (I hope that is the right word), and where the weight of the figure is balanced. It helps me to mark the direction of the hip and shoulders with just two straight lines to make sure I get the basic pose right.
Keep posting, I see improvement in your studies!

"This baby shower invitation was so easy to create. I requested that a designer review my order which was done within 24 hours of submitting my order. I received the order the day before the tracking notice said I would and the quality of the product was amazing! Beautiful printing on heavy, professional card stock. Love this product!"
"I was able to pick out from many designs just what I wanted as if I could design my own. I also like the free option of having an 'expert' edit the invitation."
"Love the simple design and color. I was able to add a personal touch w/ a sonogram picture of the baby on the backside. The invitees thought the invitations were cute as well. Had to reorder more and second order was discounted. Love tiny prints!"
"These cards are cuter in person. We are having a baby shower for my daughter who is a teacher and loves to read, so we wanted to do a book theme. These invitations are adorable and also can make a nice bookmark later. I paid the extra to ship them faster as I needed them in the mail. When I called to check on my delivery I was told that they were shipped out later than expected and my shipping fee was being refunded (I didn't even ask). I received them the next day and they were mailed that night. I have heard from people that have received them that they are so cute !! I used the purple and pink ink to highlight and the black for the information part. I love the small letters on everything! My only regret was not ordering a few extras for the mama-to-be and me !!"
"The quality of the paper and printing were good. Our picture on the back came out great. Simple and pretty. The product came sooner than anticipated. I was extremely grateful for that."

NCIS Sneak Peek: Forget Romeby Steve Marsi at .
A sneak peek from this evening's NCIS, "Berlin," clears up quickly why Tony and Ziva aren't going to Rome, as was hinted at the end of the April 9 episode, and DiNozzo was clearly excited about.
In the scene released by CBS, he gloats to poor McGee about the international espionage (and romance) he has in store, only to be told by Gibbs that Bodnar is likely en route to Germany instead.
Being one step ahead at all times, Bodnar is forcing NCIS to think the same way. And in an unexpected twist, Mossad operatives then make an entrance in the building, to everyone's confusion.
Check out the sneak preview clip from "Berlin" below and see what you think:
If you missed it, watch the NCIS promo TV Fanatic posted yesterday too.

Here is a twist that would be a good plot.. We never saw Jenny's body did we--How about Jenny being in protective custody and returns next season!!! Leon is still in mourning over the loss of Jackie and maybe he is leaving to take care of the kids for a short while.
Just a thought
My husband and I enjoy this show we even tape the reruns and watch them. Do not kill off anybody. If they want to leave have them leave but do not kill them off. We are 78 and 77 and the show is decent to watch. We like the whole cast just the way they are. I would like to see Jeane Benet come back because Tony and her were really good together. Just please do not kill any more off of the show.
I agree with everyone here.... do NOT cancel the show or any of the current characters. The chemistry is AMAZING and besides, Gibbs WOULD NOT be the same if something happened to either of them! He would go back into retirement and never come back... BAM!!! show ends.. PLEASE do not end the show, I look forward to NCIS and LA NCIS every week faithfully!!!

The eco atmosphere at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort & Spa has always been a huge hit with our guests, and environmental organizations love us, too!
MARTI (the MesoAmerican Reef Tourism Initiative), who strives to maintain and enhance the area's beautiful reefs for future generations, interviewed our Director of Ecology and Environment after Sandos Caracol ticked all their boxes for best environmental practices. Check out MARTI's full article and interview here.
We're very proud of the natural and environmentally friendly setting at Sandos Caracol, an all inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya with extensive mangrove forests, programs for supporting local Mayan villages, and our very own thriving community of native wild animals who have chosen the resort as their home.


text: If SF were a leading lady, she'd be as pretty as Olivia Wilde, melodramatic enough to cry on cue, and would most certainly demand a pimped-out trailer.Here, we pick a few of our all-time favorite films starring the City by the Bay. Rent 'em to see why SF is always red-carpet ready.MilkThis movie has a first name; it's O-S-C-A-R. Or rather, that's what Sean Penn earned when he portrayed gay activist Harvey Milk in the rally cry for equal rights. Follow the uber-talented supporting cast (Franco, Hirsch, Brolin) through the Castro in the '70s, a.k.a. a pretty entertaining place to be.The Sweetest ThingNot your typical rom com, and that's why we love it. Christina Walters (Cameron Diaz), Courtney Rockcliffe (Christina Applegate), and Jane Burns (Selma Blair) navigate the dating scene with no shortage of douchey innuendos, sexual mishaps, and elusive true love (it can happen here). The flick's girly-plus-gross factor is truly its sweetest asset.BullittHPOA alert: Steve McQueen tears up the streets as wild-driving, Jacqueline Bisset-wooing, can't-catch-a-break-with-the-boss detective Frank Bullitt. Hop in and prepare yourself for an epic, high-flying ride around town from the perspective of a '68 Mustang that changed the course of car-chase scenes forever. VertigoA psychological thriller about a detective plagued by a crippling case of (wait for it) vertigo has the incomparable Jimmy Stewart wrapped up in a mysterious case and a tenuous romance. The only thing more stunning than the scenery? Hitchcock's typically gripping twists.Harold and MaudeA cult classic, the dark comedy tells the story of an unlikely romance between suicidal Harold (Bud Cort) and 79-year-old Maude (Ruth Gordon). Their escapades throughout the Bay, the amazing '70s wardrobe, and a sound track by Cat Stevens make this one a must-see.Photo: Focus Features / Courtesy of Everett Collection

Friday, November 09, 2012 - Take 5 with Casey Berkshire
Katie Land
, news editor
Composed of a diverse array of faculty, staff and administrators, the Oakland University community is unique, creative, and dedicated. As part of a continuing effort to explore the various roles and lives of our Golden Grizzlies, the
News @ OU website
presents a new interview series. We invite you to share these stories and
"Take 5" with OU
"Take 5 with Casey Berkshire"
Casey Berkshire is the assistant director of advising outreach for the First Year Advising Center. She is a recent addition to the Oakland University community, having come on board this July. Casey is new to the state as well, having grown up, gone to school and worked in the Carolinas. In her previous post, Casey served as the director of Freshman Academic Programs at Clemson University, a position that translates well to her new responsibilities. In the new First Year Advising Center, Casey has a number of administrative and managerial responsibilities, in addition to advising new students. She has now settled in Troy with her fiancé Cary, and two Bassett hounds, Elka Mae and Wilshire Monroe.
1) Why is it important to have a center dedicated to working with students through their first year at school?
Students make a decision about where they want to graduate from in their first year of college. The first year gives them a taste of what's to come, what the expectations are, and now to best navigate this great, big world—and it is not at all what they expect. College doesn't necessarily look and feel the way many students imagine it will. In the First Year Advising Center, we represent what a student knows as OU. We take that responsibility seriously, so the interaction students have with us must be positive, helpful and supportive. There are really great students here that I want to see them become Oakland alumni. The first year each student spends at school will decide the rest of their college experience.
2) What are your top three favorite fictional characters (in movies, books, television, comics, cartoons)?
The Little Mermaid because she was such a dreamer and wanted to "break the mold" of her circumstances!
The Giving Tree, was he/she an actual character!?
Clair Dunphy because she always finds a way to hold that crazy "Modern Family" together!
3) What do you enjoy most about working at Oakland?
When I first saw the posting, I knew that this would be a job worth coming to Michigan for. Having never lived anywhere but the south, I knew it would be different here, but I love it! The people are genuinely nice and authentically warm and welcoming. Hands down, the best part of my job is working with the students. I prefer to be working with students to anything else I do. We are all here to serve them, and they are all so great. I learn so much from the students here! It's never a boring day in the FYAC! Each freshman student has their own adviser in our office, and they often come in when they hit a bump in the road and need some help, but they the also come to celebrate with us when they do well. We are able to build relationships and get to know each student through a really personalized approach. We try to remember students' interests so we can send them new or interesting information or events they may want to attend. I personally advise 168 students, but an academic adviser in the FYAC typically works with roughly 350 students. We want students to know that we are here to support them through challenges, and to advocate for them as they navigate the first year at OU.
4) What is your idea of a perfect Sunday?
Oh I'd like to get up late and go out to breakfast. I like to spend time with my Cary, take the dogs for a walk through downtown Birmingham or catch a movie. Sunday is life at a relaxed pace, where we don't have to go or be or do. It can be difficult to carve out that nice quality time with each other during the week, and Sundays are a time we can focus on those interactions that are important. I can cook dinner and relax. Sundays are one 24-hour period where I get to do as I please.
5) What is something you are looking forward to? Event, holiday, movie, meal, anything!
The Michigan winter, and all it encompasses! I've never had a real winter before and I am looking forward to experiencing the cider, donuts, snow, new boots, the bitter cold, and all that entails, and some things I don't even know about yet—the adventure of experiencing something new. Our hound dogs have never seen snow, so it will be interesting for them too!

When I was 14, we moved from Chetwynd, a small town in northern British Columbia (BC), to the big city of Vancouver, BC. As an Adventist teacher's kid, this wasn't particularly new. By the age of eight, I'd moved four times, covering the breadth of the country. But this time the loss was greater. Six years in Chetwynd made it the closest thing I had to a hometown. I did not want to move; but I didn't have a choice.
This article by Darla Martin Tucker appears on the La Sierra University website.
Jill Richards, a graduate business student at La Sierra University is sometimes asked by schoolmates, 'are you going to 'the building?' Do you have classes in there?'
This is the first installment in a four-part series written by a theology major at Pacific Union College.
It was white. Well, off-white. I stared at it for a while… and, in a way, it stared right back at me, expressionless.
It was jarring.
A question in the shape of a mental knot had tied not only my mind but also the rest of the class'. How was this art? This just couldn't be art! Marcel Duchamp's, Fountain, bore the resemblance of a urinal; in fact it was just that: a urinal.
David Trim highlights the first Adventist school in Iceland, the founding of the Ministerial Association, the origin of River Plate Adventist University, the beginning of Adventist medical missionary work in Korea, and the founding of the Illinois and Wisconsin Conference.
As someone who is now known in Adventist circles as an advocate for listening to the stories of LGBT people of faith, particularly in the context of the church (see "Seventh-Gay Adventists"), I've had a lot of conversations with conservative Adventists who are sure that the Bible is unequivocal in its clear condemnation of homosexuality. And I truly respect and understand that there are a diverse range of theological paradigms in the Adventist church (and the wider world of Christianity) right now around this topic.
Have we been saved to sit? We have to earn the right to speak the gospel into the world.

Each week they come to listen to an hour-long presentation followed by another hour of spirited dialogue with the speaker. Everyone is given the opportunity to ask a question, express a view, or offer an inspired opinion following the presentation.

Walter Brueggemann, perhaps the best-known Christian champion of the Hebrew canon, spoke at Washington Adventist University's annual Keough Lectures on September 20 and 21. Author of more than 70 books, and always a compelling platform presence, Brueggemann brought his insight, passion and humor to bear upon one question: What do "Follow me" and "Love thy Neighbor" really mean?
This story was written by Tim Mak for the Washington Examiner, and published on September 20, 2013. Roscoe Bartlett is a Seventh-day Adventist who attended Washington Missionary College (now Washington Adventist University) and served as a Republican member of Congress until 2012.

We hate ourselves all too easily, and so in its call to love of neighbor the Bible also affirms the love of self. But it never affirms self-satisfaction.
Whispers - Bill Hybels from LifeChurchTV on Vimeo.

Sandra E. Roberts, the executive secretary of the Southeastern California Conference for the past nine years, has been nominated to be the conference president. The constituency will vote on her nomination at their meeting Oct. 27. If elected, she would be the first woman to be a president of a Seventh-day Adventist conference.
A number of articles back in this series, "Bringing the Real World to Genesis," we met Dr. Peter Edgar Hare, who showed us how the common scientific understanding of the age of the earth has modified over the past few hundred years from a belief of it being on the order of a few thousand years to the current understanding that it is several billion years old. In that former article Hare notified readers that his main goal was to show how science had reached its conclusions about an ancient earth well before radiometric dating was able to confirm these conclusions.
1. Three members of the Maranatha French Adventist congregation in Lauderhill, Florida are dead and 13 more are injured following a tragic September 14 accident on I-75 near Ft. Myers, when the church van's tire exploded en route to a Haitian Adventist Convocation in Tampa, and the vehicle flipped. The accident was on national news.
On August 21, the deadly nerve gas sarin was released east of Damascus, killing hundreds of people. Ten days later, President Obama said in a televised speech that the US had a moral responsibility to respond forcefully in Syria but he would not do so until Congress voted on the use of military force. Last week, he laid out a detailed case for a limited strike against Syria to punish it for its deadly use of chemical weapons.
Chris Blake wrote this article for the Journal of Adventist Education, published this summer, about practical ways students can work toward becoming peacemakers. Look at what Union College students are doing. Studying peaceful methods to resolve conflicts - from the personal to the global - can be a useful exercise for all of us.
One week. Every Adventist school. Every year.
This call to action is laid out with astounding directness in an official Seventh-day Adventist Church statement entitled "A Call to Peace."[i]
There were rocks scattered on the tables at the opening meeting of the Adventist Forum Conference in Chattanooga last week. Attendees were invited to write what they felt was their religious identity on one side of the rock. On the other side of the rock they were to write something in which they believed deeply.

I almost never drink champagne, and we only have our in-house substitute (sparkling apple juice) for Thanksgiving and Christmas, normally, so any ot these would be silly for me -- but, still, I really LOVE numbers three and eight -- stunning!

Instructional Objective This card game serves as a learning aid to Music 350 students. They will learn to classify classical composers by the era in which they worked: Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern.
Learners/Context The learners are college undergraduate general education students in Music 350-Survey of Classical Composers. These students may be familiar with some composers names, but may confuse the era's in they worked in.
Early in the semester, students must learn +/-15 composers. The instructor would allow students 15 to 20 minutes to play 2 times a week for the first 3 to 4 weeks. Each group would have three to five students.
Rationale Although most of the course depends upon students recognizing the music of the composers, students must recall information about the composer after recognizing him.
Also, if the students are unable to immediately recall the composer, they can deduce details relating to the composition. They can deduce details by listening for characteristics that are related to the era the piece was written in. Once students determine the era, they can deduce the author by considering each of the composers who were producing works within the era.
Rules Three to five players can play the game. The dealer gives each player seven cards. The dealer places the remaining cards face down in the center of the group. The dealer turns over the first card.
The players will then take turns. They may:
* Discard a single card and take the card facing up.
* Discard a single card and draw a card from the pile.
* Lay down matched sets consisting of three cards with the same composers or four cards within the same era.
The player who lays down one matching set of composers and one matching set of eras.first, wins the game.
Card Design
Deck Design The deck has 45 cards. There are 15 different composers, 3 from each era. Each composer will have three different works, for a total of 45 cards.
Design Process After deciding on the content and audience, I decided on the time allotted for playing. Then, I considered how the players should interact with each other and the cards. Once I decided that players should match composers and eras, I reduced the number of composers involved, but increased the number of works by each composer.

Step 7: Contact the Clinical Trial Team
There are many ways to contact the clinical trial team.
- Contact the trial team directly. The clinical trial summary should include the phone number of a person or an office that you can contact for more information. You do not need to talk to the lead researcher (called the "protocol chair" or "principal investigator") at this time, even if his or her name is given along with the telephone number. Instead, call the number and ask to speak with the "trial coordinator," the "referral coordinator," or the "protocol assistant." This person can answer questions from patients and their doctors. It is also this person's job to decide whether you are likely to be eligible to join the trial. (A final decision will probably not be made until you have had a visit with a doctor who is taking part in the trial.)
- Ask your doctor or another health care team member to contact the trial team for you. Because the clinical trial coordinator will ask questions about your cancer diagnosis and your current general health, you may want to ask your doctor or someone else on your health care team to contact the clinical trial team for you.
- The trial team may contact you. If you have used the Web site of a clinical trial listing service and found a trial that interests you, you may have provided your name, phone number, and e-mail address so the clinical trial team can contact you directly.

One of the most exciting and influential back catalogues of all time. Recorded in the maelstrom of the early 1970's London music scene Queen created a groundbreaking and unique soundtrack that remains globally influential today. Theatrical, imaginative, diverse, melodic and unpredictable they had a sound and a look all of their own. Sitting alongside their contemporaries like Led Zep and David Bowie, Queen set the standard for British rock in the 1970's and became one of the most thrilling, glamorous and downright rock n roll bands of all time, directly influencing a contemporary roll call of artists from Foo Fighters & Axl Rose to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
"Queen", "Queen II", "Sheer Heart Attack", "A Night At The Opera" and "A Day At The Races" have been specially re-mastered and each is being released as a standard CD as well as a deluxe 2 disc set which will feature new bonus content. Each deluxe album has also been released on iTunes featuring bonus tracks plus additional sleeve notes, unseen pictures and videos.
From the pure raw rock of "Queen" through to the majestic anthems on "A Day At The Races", the first five albums highlight the diverse talent, musical ambition and already global success of a band made up of some of the best songwriters, musicians and performers of all time.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—A former church organist in Santa Fe has been sentenced to 7 1/2 years in federal prison for possessing child pornography.
Patrick Railsback has been in federal custody since a jury convicted him of seven child porn counts in September 2011. The 62-year-old was sentenced Thursday and will have to serve 10 years of supervised release once his prison term is completed.
The Albuquerque Journal reports ( http://bit.ly/UVb9wI) Railsback was arrested after investigators tipped off by an internet service provider raided his home.
Railsback was the organist for the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi but was put on leave by the Santa Fe Archdiocese after the January 2008 search of his home. He was later fired.

3:26 PM EDT, October 20, 2012
As I drove by the old Playhouse cinema on 25th Street in Baltimore the other day, I thought of the hapless fellow I encountered on the screen there in the 1970s — Nino, the lead character in "Bread and Chocolate," a comedy about a poor Italian waiter who tries to make a living among the affluent of Switzerland.
At one point in his degrading odyssey, Nino agrees to give his hard-earned savings to an industrialist, who promises to invest it for him. Alas, the businessman turns out to be engaged in a stock swindle, and, facing prison, he commits suicide. That leaves Nino penniless again, and he has no choice but to return to Italy.
"What do I tell my family?" he wonders. "That I gave my money to a millionaire?"
That sort of thing — Ninoism, giving money to millionaires — happens a lot, especially in the United States. In fact, Marylanders have a couple of opportunities to give money to millionaires on Election Day — by voting for Mitt Romney and by voting for Question 7.
Regarding the latter — a measure that would expand legalized gambling by adding a sixth casino in Prince George's County and live table games at all casinos in the state — I'd like to point out something that might not be readily apparent to my fellow Marylanders when they read the ballot question in the voting booth:
If Question 7 is approved, it will make life even lovelier for the millionaires who own casinos here. In working out a complex deal at a special summer session of the General Assembly, our legislators did casino owners a great favor by allowing their tax rates to be cut by as much as 18 percentage points below what we agreed to take from them when we legalized slots in 2008. Instead of paying the state 67 percent of the total proceeds, they'll pay much less, and their tax rates could drop even more down the road.
So, nice deal our politicians made.
Of course, there are all sorts of examples of Ninoism. Corporate tax breaks, income tax loopholes, a low capital gains tax rate. Wealth concentration and income disparity have reached their highest levels since the Great Depression. If there was a class war, it ended long ago and the winners were the people at the top.
Which is why I don't understand the whining of the One Percent
Last week, two writers commiserated on forbes.com — one under the headline, "The Unctuous, Impoverishing Bigotry Of Class Warfare," the other under: "Class Warfare: The Mortal Enemy Of Economic Growth And Jobs."
The latter, by a Cato Institute fellow, blasted President Obama for suggesting that the rich pay more in income taxes in the coming years. "Obama's priority is class warfare," wrote the Cato fellow. "That's why he relentlessly denounces job creators as 'millionaires and billionaires.' That's why he demands that they be punished with higher tax rates."
The other piece, by the CEO of a "free market think tank" based in Chicago, was downright precious, the writer admonishing us to be nice to the rich because, after all, they made their millions "by serving others well."
Oy vey.
"This bigotry against those who succeed must stop," the writer demanded. "We must all champion the entrepreneurs and those who work with them. We must champion them in the basement; we must champion them when they are rising. … And most of all, we must champion them when they make it to the penthouse and become part of the 1 percent."
Downright Churchillian, isn't it?
Defenders of the economic elite like to throw the red flag and call out class warfare whenever someone, starting with the president of the United States, talks about the relatively low rate of taxes the wealthiest Americans pay
What exactly has Obama said about this? That Congress should extend the Bush-era tax cuts for people earning less than $250,000 annually, and that people earning above that amount should pay more.
Obama: "To give me another tax break, or to give Warren Buffett another tax break, or to give Mitt Romney another tax break, that would cost about a trillion dollars and we can't afford it, not at a time when we're trying to bring down our deficit, not at a time when we're trying to reduce our debt."
Very reasonable, and yet the wealthy will whine that we're picking on them. They absolutely hate to be called out on this — that is, to have the public reminded of the great income disparity that has developed over the last 30 years, or how the middle class has been in decline, or how wages have been virtually flat as wealth became more concentrated in the top 5 percent of American families.
It's not jealousy that drives this conversation. It's not bigotry. It's not classism. It's not socialism. It's just an in-the-bones-outrage about the rich asking for even more tax breaks, and politicians — Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, dozens of Republicans running for Congress, and a Maryland General Assembly and power structure dominated by Democrats — eager to accommodate them again.

"I thought the card turned out very nice. I was surprised you didn't put in a couple of extra envelopes at no cost like Shutterfly. Was thrilled you had so many cards for Chinese New Year."
"Most lunar new year cards have Chinese characters or say Happy "Chinese" New Year. I celebrate Vietnamese New Year and found this card to work with my ethnic background. This was one of the only cards that did not have any Chinese characters. I just added in the saying "Chuc Mung Nam Moi" along with my family name to help identify the card with my ethnic lunar celebration. I hope Tiny Prints will keep other ethnic groups in mind next lunar new year."
"This is a great Asian theme without coming out and saying "Happy Chinese New Year". For those of us living in Asia, it is a great design to express New Year wishes - even a non-Chinese New Year :) "They" (Tiny Prints editorial staff) even changed the color of the Happy New Year to crimson so it showed better on our photo. Love Tiny Prints!"

Liverpool's mice and men
Brendan Rodgers spoke toward the end of last season about the need to add "men" to the group. Whilst in future he may have to choose his expressions a little more carefully in the wake of that leaked "naughty words" document that Liverpool sent out to employees, his point was clear. He wants leaders, winners, players who are mentally and physically strong and who not only possess in themselves that toughness and desire to succeed at the very top, but who also demand it from those around them. Players who want to win at all costs and for whom losing is seen as a personal insult. Steven Gerrard has it, Luis Suarez has it, Jamie Carragher had it too, but is unfortunately no longer around. The rest of the squad? Not so much.
Rodgers recognises the importance of having a winning mentality around the place and appears to be making a conscious effort to recruit players who possess it. Kolo Toure is a perfect example, a man who sets himself high standards and also looks to influence and help those around him. He's most definitely a winner and has the medals to prove it. Iago Aspas may be largely unknown outside of Spain, but his will to win and never-say-die efforts almost single-handedly preserved Celta Vigo's status in La Liga last season. That passion to win occasionally spilled over into unsavoury incidents, with a shocking head-butt on Carlos Marchena earning him a lengthy suspension. Rodgers, significantly, wasn't put off by that.
- Liverpool line up move for Diego Costa
Reported transfer target Kyriakos Papadopoulos also seems to fit the profile Brendan is looking for. The powerful Greek is not someone you'd want to get on the wrong side of (witness the hilarious exchange with Samaras on YouTube). And if he had been born a couple of thousand years earlier, you can bet your bottom dollar he'd have been one of the 300 Spartans fighting alongside King Leonidas. And if he had been, for my money that particular battle would have had a much different outcome.
And then there's Diego Costa, a player who has been the subject of a large bid from the Reds this week and someone who makes Suarez seem almost angelic in comparison. Costa has been described in some quarters as "the most hated man in La Liga," a title Suarez can presently lay claim to in the Premier League, at least until Joey Barton finds a new club in the top flight. Some of Costa's antics have crossed the line -- flicking snot at Sergio Ramos was particularly unsavoury -- but as with Suarez, it appears to be a case of using any edge possible to gain an advantage. Win at all costs.
Liverpool currently have plenty of talented, "nice" lads, but they don't have too many of the "men" that Rodgers referred to. If you go back to the Reds' late '70s/early '80s heyday, those sides were crammed with big characters and players who would make their presence felt both on the field and in the changing room. Graeme Souness, Joey Jones, Tommy Smith, Emlyn Hughes, Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen, Phil Neal, Jimmy Case, Phil Thompson, Bruce Grobbelaar, Terry McDermott, Steve McMahon, Ronnie Whelan, Jan Molby, John Aldridge... the list goes on and on. All had winning mentalities and weren't shy when it came to voicing their opinions and letting others know what was expected of them, or indeed putting the opposition in their place.
When you compare those names with today's squad, it's men against boys. The likes of Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing, Lucas, Jose Enrique, Glen Johnson, Fabio Borini, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho are all just a bit ... well, they're Boy Scouts, aren't they? I'd compare the '80s players to the Rolling Stones, whilst this lot are One Direction. Could you imagine any of them handing out a rollicking to an underperforming team-mate, or sticking one on an unruly opponent?
If Melwood were a school, there'd be far too many pupils wanting to be prefects and hall monitors, and not enough of them being handed detentions with Suarez, Gerrard and Daniel Agger. A couple of bruisers like Papadopoulos and Costa -- who, to continue the metaphor, are likely go around neighbouring schools to shake down other kids -- wouldn't go amiss, either.
When you look back at last season, Liverpool played some outstanding football at times but were completely bullied out of their stride on other occasions. The inability to compete against Stoke City and Oldham Athletic was embarrassing, whilst even nonleague Mansfield Town ran the Reds extremely close. If things were going well, Liverpool could look very good, but when the going got tough they often folded. Rodgers bemoaned the lack of mental toughness and leaders in his side following the Oldham defeat, but when you have so many youngsters and choir boys in the side, that's always going to be a risk.
Liverpool need to get physically and mentally tougher, they need more players who want to win at all costs, and they need more leadership. Toure certainly helps, Papadopoulos would unquestionably make a difference in terms of toughness, and hopefully one or two of the younger players will grow into leadership roles as they gain experience and become more comfortable. We'll never see sides with as much character and leadership as those great teams of the past, though, as football and -- more specifically -- footballers have changed a lot since those days.
There simply aren't as many natural leaders around in the modern game, and physical and mental toughness are also in relative short supply. In years gone by, you wouldn't survive five minutes without being physically tough due to the aggressive nature of the game. That's changed to the point where physical contact has almost been completely outlawed, but every side still needs to have its share of aggressive, physically imposing players, and Liverpool do not have that. Witness last season's struggles against big strikers such as Kenwyne Jones, Jon Walters, Carlton Cole, Christian Benteke and even Matt Smith.
The mental side has changed, too; players earn so much money at an early age that many don't have the same hunger to succeed that we saw in the past. Someone like Raheem Sterling, for example, will make more money from his current contract than the vast majority of Liverpool's legends made in their entire careers. He's achieved nothing in the game as yet but is already set for life. With such rewards on offer for merely reaching the first team, the danger is that players don't have that "win at all costs" mentality that top sides need to have.
That's why Suarez is so unique and why it's so important for Liverpool to hang on to him. He wants to win at everything. Whether it's a Monopoly game against Coates and Lucas or a Cup final at Wembley, he simply has to win, and occasionally he loses the plot when it doesn't happen. Money is never going to change someone like Suarez; he had it tough as a kid, which instilled an intense hunger in him that occasionally spills over into the kind of crazy incidents that have gotten him in trouble throughout his career. You can question his behaviour, occasionally even his sanity, but never his will to win.
Rodgers wants to sign players with the same kind of hunger as Suarez and the right kind of winning mentality, but the truth is they are a lot more difficult to find than they were in the past -- and some of them, like Suarez and Costa, come with, shall we say, a little baggage. The Liverpool boss appears to feel that's a price worth paying, and I would agree with that.
The meek may well inherit the earth, but they won't win you football matches.

The Network for Computational Nanotechnology is a network of 6 universities working together to connect theory, experiment, and computation in a way that makes a difference to the future of nanotechnology.
The NCN's approach to research flows from a commitment to connect experiment, theory, and computation in a new way. Our focus is applied, but long term. Each project has clear objectives, a three-year duration, and a mission to advance the field. We choose projects that are ready for a coordinated, multi-disciplinary attack. Sufficient science must have been done so that a promise of significant, new technologies has been identified. A team of experts with complementary skills and interests addresses outstanding scientific questions as well as important technological issues. The team begins with atomistic treatments of materials and connects them to mesoscopic descriptions of devices, and finally to the macroscopic description of integrated nanosystems. In the process of addressing these problems, the teams wrestle with the challenges of connecting length and time scales and crossing disciplinary boundaries. Each project also includes significant computational challenges, and an applied mathematician or computer scientist to address those challenges.
We aim to advance the field and, at the same time, develop the understanding, approaches, and simulation tools that will allow engineers to design new nanoelectronic and NEMS technologies. The fields that the NCN addresses — Nanoelectronics, Nanoelectromechanical Systems, and Nano-bioelectronics — are broad but with sufficient focus so that they can benefit from synergies. Ultimately we see these three themes merging with the goal of connecting dry electronic and mechanical nanosystems to wet biological nanosystems.

You offer no sizing for small people. Your size 6 is a size 10 for other retailers, I would guess . But even if your size 6 was a normal size 6, it would be nice if you could carry sizes for small people. The fabric and color and service were fine. But had to send it back as it was HUGE.

The marriage between Exelon and PSEG would create the largest electric utility in the United States. The policy implications could loom even larger, however. Standing at risk is nothing less than...
Commission Watch
Commission Watch
The commission's power grab over bankruptcy courts condemns merchants to a corporate netherworld.
Since we last visited the conflict between the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and bankruptcy courts over who decides whether a debtor can terminate unprofitable power contracts, 1 a new district court decision out of Texas has come down tilting the field in favor of FERC's assertion of exclusive authority. For merchant energy companies struggling with dwindling capital and mounting credit risks, this change could mean bankruptcy is no longer a viable option for reorganizing.
This latest decision, from , casts doubt on the ability of merchant energy companies in bankruptcy to reject economically burdensome contracts with load-serving entities without FERC approval. Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code 2 ordinarily allows a debtor to reject unprofitable contracts. But for energy merchants that section could lose all meaning as applied to forward wholesale power agreements with load-serving entities if courts elsewhere follow this Mirant decision. Under this new paradigm, FERC would have to bless any rejection even if the bankruptcy court finds the contract is a loser for the energy merchant. Complicating matters, FERC has shown little interest in understanding the balance of debtor and creditor rights in the Bankruptcy Code provisions dealing with rejected contracts.
FERC has, essentially, become the senior partner to the bankruptcy courts for merchant power marketers. Unfortunately, this development comes at a time when many have begun to write epitaphs for energy merchants, further dimming prospects for the sector. 3 Utilities, now wary of the volatile electricity markets, are reportedly pulling back from wholesale trading and expanding their own power plant portfolios to meet demand. 4 The uncertain demarcation of FERC versus bankruptcy court jurisdiction raises serious questions that must be decided wisely. FERC's authority faces challenges ahead, especially as states move toward competitive procurement for standard offer or provider of last resort services.
Ironically, there may be a silver lining even if the decision is widely followed. A load-serving entity would, under the ruling, face less risk that its energy merchant counterparty could reject its wholesale power supply agreement through bankruptcy. That, arguably, should lessen collateral requirements, since the merchant supplier would have inferior bankruptcy rights, compared with those of other businesses.
The Mirant Case
Since the court and FERC rulings regarding NRG Power Marketing Inc. discussed in our earlier column, 5 the bankruptcy and district courts presiding over the Mirant 6 bankruptcy have weighed in on whether a merchant company in bankruptcy can discontinue supplying power without FERC approval. The Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas enjoined FERC from requiring Mirant to perform several of its jurisdictional contracts with Potomac Electric Power Co. (PEPCO) while that court considered pending and forthcoming motions by Mirant to reject those contracts. The Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas disapproved and went in the opposite direction. The higher court denied Mirant's motion to reject one of those contracts and its request for injunctive relief. The degree to which each court took its reasoning is extraordinary.

Isn´t this what the smart people have said would happen???Art
Well, Duh! It´s only surprising to libtards/progtards (LPs).
Well, duh!
Despite!? Did they actually say "despite"? Why not try "because of"?
If California had more businesses and more people with decent jobs and homes they owned (that would follow with more businesses), they´d see more tax revenue. Trouble is, the hyper-taxation drives away businesses, downsizes or closes up those that remain, puts people out of work and uses up their wealth. Revenues drop. What a dilemma Sacramento has created!
Cali will be a 3rd world country after moon bean and all the idiots are done ith it.
Fortunately, nothing like that could ever happen to the USA as a whole because our elected leaders are way too smart to let that happen.
What do you mean about Caif becoming a 3rd world country. It IS a 3rd world country.
Here´s a clue. When you attract an unlimited number of third world illegals with free stuff and they elect even more people who give them more free stuff, they (illegals plus illegal-pandering legislators) turn your state/country into a third world hellhole.Now we have a President doing this to the entire country. Pretty soon there won´t be state left that you can run to.
I live in California, and it feels a lot like being on the deck of the Titanic, waving to the people leaving in life boats. Two days after the election, a soft-ware company here in San Diego announced that it was moving to Texas. Employees have till the end of the year to decide whether to move with the company or take their chances finding another job here. (Good luck with that.) Then, our very best neighbors on the block--the people you call in an emergency, the people who organize block parties--announced that they are moving to Texas. They have a small business and want to expand. No way can they do that here. Their house is up for sale and they´ll move as soon as escrow closes. Meanwhile, another house on our block has gone back to the bank. But our dynamite legislature is preoccupied with outlawing plastic bags and insisting that the contribution of gays be taught to elementary school students.
Revenues in freefall despite tax increases. I´m shocked, shocked!Liberals are so stupid they literally thought that businesses and high-earners would be euphoric, too, over the chance to provide even more lavishly for government workers and parasites (redundant, I know) who actually voted for this piece of crap.We don´t have to bother with secession. We´ll soon have our own pleasant, well-run states populated by sensible and responsible people; and they will have their self-righteous, politically-correct, parasite-riddled hell holes.
#10,My son is a college student and still lives in California. He called me awhile ago and told me to send plastic grocery bags to his Grandma (my mom). The county on the central coast where they live has already banned them.I miss the beautiful scenery California has to offer, but I don´t think I´ll ever miss the lefty lunacy.
A sure sign of the times is when a 99 cent store opens on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
Dontcha love it when the left gets all surprised at the consequences of its policies?As Ayn Rand once said: You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of reality.
Anyone with a functioning brain would have left long ago.
Here in Ventura County we still have plastic bags, but our reliable red county went blue this election. I´m sure we won´t be immune from the liberals much longer.
And still, the government take money and wealth from the producers and gives it to the parasites.How many leeches can be applied to the patient before he´s bled to death? We´ll know shortly.
I live in the Central Coast where the plastic bags are banned AND all retailers have to charge 10 cents a bag for paper bags. It won´t be long until the articles will be flooding the news of disease being spread by the dirty reusable bags people are forced to haul into the stores. And I too hear the stories of businesses closing.Despite all of that, after spending four years in solid traveling in all of the 48 states, there is no place I´d rather live.
Sigh....I mourn for my state...the idiots in Sac are so stupid they couldn´t pour p*** out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel. We have contemplated moving, but with my Mom with moderate to severe dementia, there is no moving at this time. We live in one of the poorist counties in the state, with agriculture as our major business. Lots of businesses have closed, it´s a sad state of affairs.
CA has been in a "crisis" for five years. It´s hard to take it seriously any more. They just seem to keep stumbling on forever.
These people live in a alternative world! Perception is reality, not reality!
Dead Chicken Stops Laying Eggs.Dead chickens in California stopped laying eggs, even as dead cows all over the state stopped producing milk. State offials continue to investigate.
They say that California has always been the trend setter for the entire USA. Well it looks like California has already fell off the fiscal cliff and that the entire USA guided by Obama is sure to follow.
I remember reading, a few years ago, about Maryland passing a millionaire´s tax. And tax revenues went down as a result...I amazes me when people don´t understand the basics of Economics 101.
But....but...but....the lefties did a study that said rich people leaving to save money was just a myth!
They bulldozed the orchards I loved in 1968 and replaced them with freeways and shopping centers, in the Santa Clara Valley. In 1979 I returned and stayed with my father, while trying for months to find a place to rent. It would take two hours to drive the 10 miles to work on the freeway. The illegals already had most of the jobs and housing, and it was no longer the California I grew up in. I gave up and moved to New Mexico. Unfortunately, the Cal liberals followed me, and they shut down logging, ranching, and mining. They are like a pestilence that destroys an area and moves on to the next.
As Gomer would say - Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Since Obama et al knows all this - that raising taxes lowers revenue - what is the reason for doing this to the entire country? The fact that he doesn´t want to eliminate loopholes - like the ones his friends from GE and Warren Buffet use - means that the "rich" aren´t his actual target - at least the ones who support him.I have to imagine that his real target are independent thinking smaller businesses - entrepreneurs who want the government off their back. If Obama eliminates the middle class then we´ll only have the controllers and the takers and the takers will wake up someday and realize they are all equally miserable with no way out since they´re both dependent on the government.I work with a guy originally from Eritrea in Africa which he tells me was the most industrial country in Africa with a ton of Italian influence. His mother speaks fluent Italian, cooks Italian from scratch, etc. But then someone took over by force and now they are the least industrialized country in Africa...which is saying a lot. Seems to me this is what Obama has in mind - turning us into a third world country while he and his friends live like rich Arabs.
Much of the budgetary woes California is in now can be attributed to the power of politics corrupting even some of the decent legislators in Sacramento. It´s like an addictive drug. Benjamin Franklin was right when he said, "when people find that they can vote themselves free money, that will usher the end of our republic". Case in point are Detroit, Chicago, and Sacramento.
They started with temporary increase of corporate taxes, sales taxes, and income taxes. The lost corporate tax revenue, raised money with the sales tax (unavoidable) and lost a little on the income tax. You just knew that this wouldn´t convince them that tax increases didn´t work. So now they´ve made it part of the tax code and surprise, they lose revenue. California won´t let the oil companies drill for oil they know is there, won´t let the farmers have the water from the reservoirs built for that purpose, and have driven the motion picture industry to film in other states. Where are they going to find money to tax?
I bet the shortfall is more than just from the upper income brackets. Obama lovers can get creative when it comes to working off the books.
That´s the funniest part of this article, the last paragraph. "As panic spreads that goosing taxes on the rich may have created enough "tax flight" that the California will actually collect less taxes, there was welcome news that a business had committed to opening in the State. Executives of the 99 Cents Only Stores Inc. proclaimed they would be opening a new location in Beverly Hills on formerly posh Rodeo Drive."Perhaps they will be able to sell to the squatters living in the abandoned houses in Beverly Hills once the rich actors have set up residency in another state.
This will get the productive people out and leave the tatooed naked people for when the next earthquake hits.
All Cal. needs to do to become solvent is charge a 10% fee on all wire transfers out of the state.Of curse they did just the opposite and made it easier by people depositing cash in a debit account and giving the people on the other end their PIN .
Brainiacs..since this is what you want, raise more tax rates! It will work for sure this time/s...
They are doing it wrong. They need to tax everyone one-hundred percent. The dummies who keep electing tax collectors don´t realize it´s not about raising taxes. It is about economic equalizing to the lowest common denominator.The worst part is that the responsible uneducateds will flee the state and infest the rest of the nation. Someone alluded to FLA. It is full of NY socialists.
To quote a friend of mine. Even a tapeworm knows not to kill the host. Ca is toast..
Unfortunately, #16, the increase in income taxes is retroactive to Jan 1, 2012. I don´t try to minimize my refund; I just take zero deductions, so I should be covered come April 15, 2013.
The poor riff-raff sure love it when you give away the store. But soon the store goes broke and out of business. Then everyone is left with nothing. The smart folks voted with their feet. Good for them!
Most hilarious is they cite a study done by a 20 something hispanic teaching assistant that millionaires won´t leave. Perfect... All she´s ever been exposed to is Socialism/Marxism!99 cent store on Rodeo Drive! Ed Assner must be thrilled!
Elections have consequences-- I can hope.
Study this well, Paul Krugman... yes, study well, and be prepared to bound down at the feet of Art Laffer.
We need to get back to letting the states decide issues such as how much to spend on social programs. If states like California want to spend a lot of money, and tax their citizens accordingly, then that is thier business.The Federal government is broke. A centralized power in Washington DC is not a good thing. We should cut back Federal spending and federal taxes, and let the states decide how much to spend and how much to tax.This is why we need a new political party to replace the Repugs. Neither the Dimms nor the Repugs want to decentralize power outside of Washington.
Poster #29: Since Obama et al knows all this - that raising taxes lowers revenueThis has been in the public record for five decades, President Kennedy said this when lowering taxes. 0bama admitted he knew this to be true in a pre-primary debate with HiLIARy in 2008. The moderator, Charles Gibson referenced specific tax increases and decreases with Reagan, Clinton and Bush and their inevitable consequences.0bama then said, "Yes, but, I want to raise taxes to be fair." He has a distorted definition of "fair," he doesn´t care about lowered revenue.

Pros – Server Tech division which includes database, enterprise manager are good to work in. People are smart and friendly. Good telecommuting culture and flexible work hour. But you have to work hard in order to advance. That's true everywhere
Cons – When you hit a plateau in learning, it is up to yourself to look around for opportunities. Keep looking. No one will do it for you.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't add more engineering processes to treat everyone like a dumb a. It just lowers productivity for everybody.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

USDA cafeterias get a healthy makeover
No more fryers for the agency in charge of the push for healthy meals.
Feb. 4—Ken Choi, chief operating officer for I.L. Creations in Rockville, has a good idea of what federal workers like to eat. The food service company runs cafeterias at the Energy Department, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and the State Department, and while I.L. Creations has been touted for its healthful offerings, Choi knows that some of his most popular items include foods dipped in a hot-oil bath: fried chicken, fried catfish and french fries.
Which explains why I.L. Creations' newest government contract presents such a challenge. The Agriculture Department—the agency tasked with improving public health—made a groundbreaking decision last year when soliciting bids for cafeteria vendors at its headquarters: The USDA would go fryer-less.
